The nasoseptal flap is a workhorse reconstructive option for anterior skull base defects during endonasal surgery. This paper highlights the versatility of the nasoseptal flap. After providing a brief historical perspective, this review will focus on the relevant primary literature published in the last ten years. We will touch upon new applications of the flap, how the flap has been modified to expand its reach and robustness, and some of the current limitations. We will conclude by discussing what the future holds for improving upon the design and use of the nasoseptal flap in anterior skull base reconstruction.
鼻中隔瓣是鼻内手术中用于修复前颅底缺损的主要重建选择。本文重点介绍了鼻中隔瓣的多功能性。在提供了简要的历史背景后，本综述将聚焦于过去十年发表的相关主要文献。我们将探讨该瓣的新应用、为扩大其覆盖范围和增强其坚固性而进行的改良，以及当前的一些局限性。最后，我们将讨论在改进鼻中隔瓣在重建前颅底中的设计和应用方面的未来发展方向。
